I-2 Cantor Express Institute
Joanner Werner, Joe Simmons

All levels of cantors will find something worthwhile in this Institute. Most cantors are proficient in some areas but need to develop in others. It will be possible to assess areas for growth, begin to fill in gaps, and lay the groundwork for a firmer foundation for your ministry. How? By means of interactive lectures, discussion, reflection, skill building (group voice classes, interpretation, and coaching) and repertoire that best reflects the core identity of the cantor..
